Hi,
I'm using noflushd to spin the harddisk down after 5 min and in order to
not have it up at every syslog event, I mount /var/log to a ramdisk at the
start of my system. That gets me to very few harddisk spin ups as long as
I'm not recording or playing.
If you're interested in the scripts to do that, let me know.

Why not ?
A problem ist that VDR writes it�s EPG-DATA to epg.dat in /video0 - and
this is the Video-Directory - so at every EPG-Writing - your harddrive
will spin up !
But�i�m sure that it�s possible to change the destination path.
you have to load the /vdr path and your /settings path into Ramdrive -
that�s all...
A other Problem it the /var/log/messages there are the VDR-Debug-messages
i don�t know if it�s possible to write this into a RAM-DRIVE....
I think - you should try it.
